Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) are battling it out today at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, each aiming to break new ground.
Both teams are still chasing their first-ever IPL title, setting the stage for a potentially historic final in the 18th edition of the tournament.
For Virat Kohli, who has remained loyal to RCB since the tournament’s inception, this final offers another opportunity to change his fortunes.

Having lost three IPL finals (2009, 2011, 2016), Kohli is determined to secure a match-winning innings that will cement his legacy.
On the opposing side stands Shreyas Iyer, fresh off an inspired knock that eliminated Mumbai Indians on Sunday.
The Narendra Modi Stadium is familiar territory for Iyer, who led Delhi Capitals to the 2020 final before captaining Kolkata Knight Riders to IPL glory last year.
Punjab Kings’ dominant victory over Mumbai Indians has erased memories of their earlier Qualifier 1 defeat. Although RCB dismantled PBKS’s batting lineup in that match, Rajat Patidar’s side cannot afford complacency. When PBKS performs at their best, they become nearly unbeatable.
With both teams hungry for their maiden IPL trophy, Tuesday’s final promises to deliver a thrilling contest that will etch a new chapter in the tournament’s storied history.
